Dead Calm
Directed by Phillip Noyce
When a veteran sailor and his wife rescue the half-delirious sole survivor of a crippled schooner on a dead-calm ocean, the skeptical husband rows to the disabled boat and finds a horrifying sight. Turning back to his own ship, he sees her racing away--with his wife on board--starting a desperate cat-and-mouse game on the high seas.

Even after 30 years this still creeps me out more than most horror movies. Amazing cast in their early days
Such a gem with top notch acting, fantastic writing, and story telling!! Also, a reminder to those folks who are new here or forget…Shudder is NOT only a horror platform but also thriller and sci-fi as is plainly stated by Shudder!! Think about that before you knock down a skull or two for films being “not really horror”.
I like this movie, Ive always thought they could easily make a prequel pretty easy
Such an underrated thriller. A few years ago, I finally bought the dvd because I never could find it on streaming. . . thank you for turning on a new generation to Nicole Kidman being a badass and Billy Zane being a for-real scary psycho instead of his trademark smarmy cartoonish psycho (not that there's anything wrong with that lol)
Great surprise addition to Shudder. The kind of film you'd catch late at night on tv and then had you wide awake, glued to the screen to find out how it ended. And once seen, never forgotten. An excellent psychological thriller.
